Introduction - Private Water Supplies

South Coast Water are water abstraction consultants who specialises in the location, abstraction, filtration and delivery of a private water supply to your water network, whether it be for use in a domestic situation, or for commercial use or in combination.

South Coast Water offer complete consultancy, design and installation packages from the initial geological survey through to the complete installed finished system for those who wish to migrate away from a municipal water supplier, or who live in areas where non exist.

Many UK homes, businesses and even entire communities depend on private water supplies. There are many advantages to drawing your own water apart from cost and quality. Accordingly, more and more people, especially farmers, estate owners, businesses who consume large qualities of water and remote communities are turning to private supplies.

Many businesses including farms, rural institutions, schools, hotels and many others have already chosen to take advantage of a private water supply from South Coast Water.

Extracting your own water with the helping hand of South Coast Water is a lot easier than you might think. All we need in the first instance is an address so that we can look at our geological maps and check for known suitable extraction profiles within your area.
Once we have some raw data from this to work with, we then perform a full geological survey in conjunction with the British Geological Survey to pinpoint known aquifers close to you.
The report generated from this research, combined with a dowsers report will give you a very clear indication of the likely quantity and quality of water you might expect to draw on your property.

Private property owners may draw up to 20,000 litres (20 metric tonnes) of water per day, without the need for any special license, and use the water for any purpose. To put that into perspective, a family of four use approximately a tonne of water per day for the entire households needs.

Maybe you have a well or bore already on your property which has remained unused for a long time and you would like to have a feasibility report done.
